Hey everyone! My friend suggested that I try this site, as she has been having a lot of fun on it. I work at a desk (mostly) so most of my life is pretty sedentary. Then when I get home, I'm tired (read: lazy) and tend to talk myself out of working out. I'm really good at coming up with any reason to not workout. But, I want to get in shape, be healthy, and be more active in general. I've found that swimming is my favorite workout, and being in a bathing suit for it is like added motivation to try to be somewhat healthy. Plus, one of my best girlfriends (the one who encouraged me to join) is getting married in August, and I'm in the wedding party. I'd like to look good for the pictures. Anyway, just thought I'd try this out, as I can use all the encouragement and motivation possible! :-)

    Hello everyone! This is my first day here and I am liking it so far! I have always been a curvy girl and my weight has been up and down ever since I can remember. I managed to lose a fair bit of weight all by myself a few years ago and once the weight had gone I thought I didnt need to exercise etc but the weight crept back on. Since then I have had lots of challenges and now my weight is one of them. I have tried all sorts to start shifting the weight but cant seem to get motivated plus most things are so expensive which doesnt help. Anyway, I randomly found this site as an app on my phone and thought I'd give this a go. Im fed up of moaning about my weight so its about time I did something about it! For the last time!! Would love to make friends here so please feel free to say hi. :0)
